What's New in Version 8.0.1

AutoVPN

For Barracuda-only environments, setting up a site-to-site VPN tunnel has been greatly improved. The new AutoVPN feature provides robust VPN connections through TINA tunnels that are automatically set up with dynamic routing between local networks. AutoVPN is suited for creating multiple boxes in the cloud and connecting them with a TINA site-to-site VPN tunnel.

Automatic setup of VPN tunnels is initiated via the command-line interface (CLI) and REST API.

For more information, see AutoVPN for CloudGen Firewall Devices 8.0.1 or Higher.

Barracuda Control Center License Activation

When a Control Center is started for the first time, the CC Wizard will prompt for entering a username and a password that will be used to automatically download licenses.

For more information, see Getting Started - Control Center.

Barracuda Firewall Insights

The Barracuda Reporting Server has been replaced by Barracuda Firewall Insights. Barracuda Firewall Insights is an advanced reporting and analytics platform that ingests, aggregates, and analyzes data automatically from any CloudGen Firewall deployed across your organizational network, including public cloud deployments. Analytics by Firewall Insights provide actionable information for the entire WAN, including dynamic availability information on SD-WAN connections, transport data, security, and web- and network traffic details.

For more information, see Firewall Insights.

IPv6 for Client-to-Site Payload

Client-to-Site VPN TINA tunnels now support the configuration of IPv6 client networks.

On the firewall, the usage of IPv6 networks requires at least firmware version 8.0.1.

In order to be able to connect to the firewall, the client requires at least NAC version 5.1.0 or greater. For more information, see Release Notes - Barracuda NAC/VPN Client 5.1 for Windows.

Multi-Factor Authentication with Time-based One-time Password (TOTP)

With release 8.0.1, the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall supports multi-factor authentication for user accounts on an individual basis, using a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) as a secondary authentication method. Multi-factor authentication can be enabled for client-to-site VPN (TINA protocol only), SSL VPN, CudaLaunch, and the Barracuda VPN Client for Windows. Multi-Factor Authentication using TOTP requires an Advanced Remote Access subscription.

For more information, see How to Configure Multi-Factor Authentication Using Time-based One-time Password (TOTP).

New DNS User Interface and Advanced DNS Features

The DNS service has been refactored and now presents a new user interface. This user interface is now tightly incorporated into new features that extend the DNS by various advanced options. The feature set of the new DNS service now includes:

  • Stand-alone and distributed DNS service
  • Master / Slave / Forward DNS zones
  • Split DNS
  • Health probing

For more information, see DNS.

Replacement of Virtual Servers by a New 2-Layer Architecture

The former 3-layer server-service architecture has been replaced by a 2-layer architecture where services are now operated on top of the box layer. With firmware 8.0.1, services are subordinated to the Assigned Services node and allow a simpler administration of services and reduce error-prone issues by limiting services to run only on the box where they are initially created on.

Virtual servers will no longer be supported in upcoming firmware releases.

For more information, see Assigned Services and Understanding Assigned Services.

Optimized Command Line Tool for Configuring an HA-Pair of Firewalls in the Cloud

The command-line tool create-dha for creating an HA-pair of firewalls in the Cloud has been optimized. The command no longer requires to optionally configure the parameter of a netmask because both firewalls must be configured in a subnet of the same size.

REST API Extensions
  • REST for all common access rule operations: create / delete / list / change
  • REST calls for network objects (stand-alone + CC (global cluster firewall objects))
  • REST calls for service objects (CC + stand-alone)
  • REST calls for enabling and activating IPS
  • REST calls to allow you to manage box administrators
  • REST calls to allow you to manage tokens
  • CLI tool to enable REST by default on cloud firewalls (place in user data)

For more information, see https://campus.barracuda.com/product/cloudgenfirewall/api/8.0

VPN IPv6 Payloads

With the exception of SD-WAN, IPv6 payloads in VPN tunnels are supported and now work for TINA site-to-site and client-to-site tunnels.

vWAN

The connection to Microsoft Azure vWAN has been greatly improved. Azure Virtual WAN can be used both on CC managed and standalone CloudGen Firewall devices and is configured in the Cloud Integration. The new configuration path is CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Multi Range > your range > your cluster > Boxes > your Box > Advanced Configuration > Cloud Integration. In addition, specific vWAN logs have been added and can be found in LOGS > Box > Cloud > azurevwan. If you are using automated connectivity the association of the hub is done automatically.

For more information, see Azure Virtual WAN.

SSL VPN

The new TOTP portal provides self enrolment and self-service of the TOTP authentication scheme.

SSL VPN resources can now be configured as dynamic apps. If configured as a dynamic app, Super Users can enable, disable, or time-enable a resource. Dynamic access can be configured for web apps, native apps, generic tunnels, and network places.

For more information, see SSL VPN.
